is there a controller on this? 

[markafuqua1]

@sundogforlove the only controlls needed to run our pumps are in the pumps themselves. An additional water level controller can be installed to maintain the water level in the storage tank yet shut the pump off when the tank get's full.

H - What kind of Horsepower is the BL40Q pump ? thnx

[markafuqua1]

@kdm7mms first I want to apologize for it taking so long for me to answer your question. I had not noticed it until recently. These pumps are not really rated in HP but if they were it would be about an 1/8-1/4 hp...they perform differently than most standard AC HP pumps in the fact that they run a smaller gallon per minute but do it all day long compared to most AC pumps which may kick on for a few minutes when needed and flow a higher gallon per minute. Thanks for your interest.

How deep is the water source?

[markafuqua1]

@BobbyWanKenobi11 This particular well is not very deep, around 40 ft. if I remember right. We have pumps that can pump from as deep as 600 ft. though. Check out our website for more details. solarpumps (dot) com

@swizzlecheeks This particular pump produces about 4 gallons per minute maximum but does create 85 pounds of pressure. So, if you want to water a lawn or something it will do it with low volume high pressure sprinkler heads. My partner in this business has a system like this running now. You have to divide you area into zones and only water a peice at a time, but it does work. Very careful attention must be paid to freezing weather or back pressure against the pump. We have larger systems also

[swizzlecheeks]

Would this pump allow enough pressure to run irrigation? Sprinkler heads?

@markafuqua1  Thanks, I was looking for something to be off the grid with a pre existing well pump that is used in a home for showering and running water. Thanks
